I just beat the GMAT

by thayshan » Thu Apr 28, 2011 2:44 pm
Hey guys...first I want to say a big THANK YOU to BEAT THE GMAT. I followed your 60 day program for the first 45 days, then I stopped and concentrated a lot on SC, and just review in General.

My practice exam scores were:
GMAT practice CAT 1 : 540
GMAT practice CAT 2 : 560
Kaplan test 1: 550
Kaplan test 2: 530

So as you can see I was really worried with my marks...but I realized many of my mistakes were caused because I was not paying enough attention to the question Stem. So I made sure on test day (today) to pay close attention.

When the exam was over...my final score was 650 !!!

I know its not as good as some of the scores that get posted here..but I'm happy with it, and it's the average score the school I am trying to get into accepts so I have my hopes high that I will get in.

But again..just want to say thanks to BEAT the GMAT for all your help and guidance, and I will make sure to tell more people about this site.

Hi:
Congratulations. Given that score is more than what you needed in the first place, you are good to go.

Good luck,

Great work, thayshan!!

That's a pretty dramatic increase from your practice tests - you must be one of those people who rises to the challenge of the testing environment :-)

Cheers,
Brent
